Background

The Kingpin AKA Wilson Fisk is a New York City crime lord who faces local heroes, such as Spider-Man and Daredevil, and occasionally Punisher and one of the most formidable super-villains in the Marvel Universe. Kingpin is a wealthy business owner, a publicly renowned philanthropist, a cultured strategic genius and a prominent gangster with countless criminal connections which have earned him the nickname "The Kingpin of Crime". Along with this while Kingpin appears to be a grossly overweight giant of a man, 80% of his bodyweight is in-fact sheer muscle which he exercises regularly and uses to train in hand-to-hand combat.

Wilson was the son of a failed gangster who pulled his son into his unsuccessful criminal career as an accomplice while always undermining his son and blaming him for his failures, in-part because of how Wilson was overweight while ignoring his son's vast intelligence. When Wilson was only a teenager, his father abandoned him during a botched robbery to be arrested and sent to prison. In prison, Wilson learned under the best criminals of how to fight and master a criminal-operation and after his release he forged a new identity for himself. Wilson saw his life as being nothing more than a cold climb to the top but along the way he fell in love with a woman named Vanessa who was the love of his life and whom bore him a son named Richard with the two of them being the only people in the world who Wilson truly cared about.
